Scariest thing about getting a chinese symbol tattoo (if you are not mandarin literate) is that the chinese guy who did the translations might be a real sh1tstrirrer and you end up something on your arm you didn't want!!

What about diagrams pointing out all the good cuts - rump, sirloin, eyefillet, brisket etc.

do Chinese people get "English" tattoos ?????


Yes, but SMILING BAMBOO or LUCKY GOAT TREE don't quite have the same appeal when English readers see them.

I wonder what the Chinese think when they see gibberish tattooed on Westerners.

I like that too Dave, doesn't take as much explaining as the chinese symbols.
I also liked the Windsurfing Maui logo of a few years ago. Have to drag out my Tradewinds movie to get an image of it.

You want the outline of a more modern windsurfer?
(my entry from that comp)





Or if you really like, um, Maui (and are nerdy):

PolarPlot[(1 + 0.9 Cos[8 t]) (1 + 0.1 Cos[24 t]) (0.9 + 0.05 Cos[200 t]) (1 + Sin[t]), {t, -Pi, Pi}

Which comes out as:

www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=PolarPlot[(1+%2B+0.9+Cos[8+t])+(1+%2B+0.1+Cos[24+t])+(0.9+%2B+0.05+Cos[200+t])+(1+%2B+Sin[t]),+{t,+-Pi,+Pi}

disclaimer: yeah I stole it

Have a good weekend all

What about naval camo. You know, break up the outline so that when you go racing people will say 'Goodness I'm being overtaken by something but I'm not sure what it is'.
